These are fabulous – extremely beautiful and emotive. I’d also be interested to see the antonyms of each of the photographs – city life, challenges local people face, etc etc. Keep up the great work!
Best wishes,
Kate

[…] you would like to see and read more about living in Rwanda, check out the charming blog A Year+ in Kigali, Rwanda by Helaina. I particularly liked her posts here (about the language) and here (culture) and […]

Hello
My name is Kate Frenson and I recently found your website about beautiful Rwanda. I noticed your website some time ago and I wanted to give you some feedback. You give a chance to learn something more about Rwanda. Your website is really interesting and show the modern face of your country. I think also that your website could be more popular with adding more basic and simple information. I thought that you could be interested in adding more info about culture of Rwanda. It could attract more people to come and see Rwanda in flesh and also make your website more popular in Google search results. Maybe you could be interested in adding a link to http://www.everyculture.com/No-Sa/Rwanda.html ?. Please let me know what do you think about that.
Thank you,
Kate Frenson

Thank you for the pictures. There is a church outside Kilgali that needs roof. I understand that it is active in supporting orphans. Can you tell me what help they may receive? If it makes sense to respond, thank you for your help.

About Me

I graduated from Tufts University, where I was an International Relations major and an Empower Fellow of the Institute for Global Leadership. I moved to Rwanda in 2010 as a Princeton-in-Africa Fellow to work with General Rwanda. Afterwards, I worked with Eos Visions, a social enterprise that facilitates educational travel and capacity building. I left Rwanda in 2012 to join the U.S. Foreign Service (diplomatic corps) as a political officer. While I no longer blog on this site, I've left it up as a reference for people looking for information on Rwanda. I monitor the comments sporadically and try to respond, but I apologize for not being able to reply to all in a timely manner. Thank you for your interest in my website and in Rwanda!
